I gained a few pounds from eating a lot of good stuff including like 3 panetones (by myself - I'm the only one that likes them) in the course of a couple weeks. I perfected my roasted turkey and, more importantly, my pancakes.

Some guitar playing, synthing and songwriting happened, but not as much as I had hoped for, as I came upon an unexpected technical translation job that paid me a few hundred bucks. Of course it all went to the new home fund, and none of it for fun stuffs for me

My main Xmas present was a new external hybrid hard drive I gave myself, but it arrived dead so it was returned to Amazon...
